Malnutrition, disease, conflict, or anything in between, children worldwide face overwhelming crises that affect their development. Each crisis is unique and requires a high level of care. However, Samaritan's Purse is dedicated to using the resources the Lord provides to actively run into these communities and help each child overcome these challenges in Jesus' Name.
After Chao Me Menh had her first child, she wanted to help fellow Vietnamese mothers facing difficult births by becoming a traditional birth attendant. In the rural parts of Vietnam, mothers often have difficulties during birth that could have been prevented with routine checkups and guidance from a trained birth attendant. Samaritan's Purse has trained over 150 birth attendants, including Chao Me Menh, to help mothers across three provinces have a more peaceful and safe pregnancy. As they continue to serve their community, our trained birth attendants have become a key role in ensuring each child has a better chance at a healthy birth, and each family feels the love of God as their family grows.
As the conflict in Sudan continues, mothers are giving birth to their children in the darkest of times. Amira Jalab had to witness the conflict firsthand while she was expecting triplets. Although she experienced the loss of two of her three babies, she also experienced love and kindness at the Samaritan's Purse Emergency Field Hospital. Please continue to pray for the families looking for a light shining in darkness as this conflict continues and for our DART team, who is tirelessly serving in Jesus' Name in Sudan.
Amid the ongoing Sudan conflict, Samaritan's Purse has an emergency field hospital to tend to the internally displaced families fleeing this terrible conflict. Each day, our DART members are caring for over 100 patients to help local hospitals meet this unprecedented need. At the same time, our labor and delivery ward ensures the safety of newborns every day. As many of these internally displaced persons have seen so much evil since the start of this conflict, Samaritan's Purse is committed to being a beacon of God's love as we meet every person's medical and spiritual needs. Please continue to pray for our DART members, as much more work still needs to be done. However, we are ready to turn this challenging time into an opportunity to share God's love.
